R & H (D) extra: The Burning Man and other spookshowings

From Series 2 of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) here are my looser sketches completed with director Metin Huseyin while trying to capture the grisly Burning Man, prone to stalk the hallways, rooms – and presumably fire exits – of the ill-fated Traveller's Halt hotel. This episode was 'Whatever Possessed You' by Charlie Higson and Gareth Roberts.

The initial idea of a disturbing blank head which splits open with a monstrous gaping mouth proved too technically demanding and the final CGI version lacked such disturbing detail.
However he still got his man. . .

In the episode 'Marshall & Snellgrove' by Charlie Higson further denizens of the region of Limbo were seen – similarly faceless creatures who pursue the unfortunate Snellgrove to his fate.
